"What exactly is the so-called Holy Grail? Is the Holy Grail really a wish-granting machine that can fulfill wishes? Also, does the big black hole that appeared at the end have anything to do with the Holy Grail? What about the black mud that appeared inside?"
Facing the numerous questions raised by Dean Hohenheim in one breath, Du Lin was stunned for a moment but did not hesitate and answered directly:
"The so-called Holy Grail is just like what is said in the movie. It is indeed a wishing machine that can fulfill any wish. But this wishing is limited. In other words, the so-called wishing machine can only use all the magic power in the Holy Grail to fulfill any wish in the physical sense. Once the magnitude of the wish to be fulfilled is greater than the total magic power in the wishing machine, the Holy Grail will no longer be able to fulfill that wish."
"Oh, so the so-called Holy Grail is actually a large-sized magic core? In this case, then Emiya Kiritsugu's wish to eliminate all wars in the world will naturally be impossible to achieve?"
Hearing the question that Sage Rosa couldn't help but ask from afar, Du Lin quickly replied:
"No, no, Emiya Kiritsugu's wish can actually be realized, but the logic of the Holy Grail may be to transform all humans on the planet, erase their cognition of desire, and create a world without disputes. Of course, this behavior can also be regarded as killing the human race in a sense."
"I see… "
After hearing Durin's explanation, many great sages nodded. They actually held similar views before, and now their views were just confirmed.
At the same time, Dean Hohenheim continued to ask:
"Since the Holy Grail can grant wishes, why did so much black muddy water gush out of the Holy Grail after Emiya Kiritsugu made a wish? And what is the big black hole that appeared in the sky of Fuyuki City?"
In response to Dean Hohenheim's and all the great sages' common questions, Du Lin thought for a while and slowly explained:
"Simply put, the big black hole in the sky represents the true Holy Grail."
"What?!"
For a moment, the great sages who heard the answer were stunned, obviously they had not thought of this level.
After all, both great sages and ordinary magicians believe that the Holy Grail is the Holy Grail, and the big hole in the sky is some kind of strange foreign object.
The answer given by Du Lin at this moment was completely beyond their expectations.
Facing everyone's doubts, Du Lin quickly explained:
"To put it simply, the hole is actually a space tunnel that connects to the altar of the Advent Ceremony, the real Holy Grail ritual located under Ryudo Temple in Enzo Mountain. The Holy Grail ritual has accumulated a huge amount of magic power through sixty years of continuous accumulation. With the addition of the souls of many heroes, the huge power is enough to penetrate the essence of the world and create an unprecedented huge teleportation array, similar to a wormhole. Oh no, anyway, it is a huge teleportation array. The golden Holy Grail is just a controller and stabilizer for it."
"It's actually like this..."
After getting Durin's answer, the expressions of many great sages suddenly became clear. It was obvious that many of their previous questions were explained at this moment, and they felt extremely refreshed.
Of course, even so, they still have one biggest question that has not been answered.
"What is that black mud? How could the Holy Grail, a pure wish-granting machine, produce such a destructive substance?"
In response to the statement made by the Great Sage of Special Elements, Pollock, Durin calmly replied:
"It's simple, because the Holy Grail is no longer the original Holy Grail. Due to an accident that occurred in a previous Holy Grail War, the essence of the Holy Grail was polluted, and its properties changed, becoming pure evil, the evil of the world. Therefore, no matter what wish the wisher wants to fulfill, the Holy Grail will realize it in the form of destroying everything. The fact that Emiya Kiritsugu was able to save his family when he made the wish can be said to be the result of the Holy Grail's generosity."
"this… "
The great sages were stunned when they received this answer which was almost as expected.
After all, although the answer has been obtained, it is still shrouded in many mysteries. Even these great sages cannot see through the essence of it with such little information.
Of course, they were still somewhat reserved, and after asking these more urgent questions, they did not say anything more.
However, the impatient Sage Wharton suddenly said loudly:
"So when will your sequel to the Fate series, Fate Stay Night, be released? The plot in it should fill in many of the questions in Fate Zero."
"this… "
Durin immediately showed an embarrassed expression at the words of Sage Wharton.
After all, for him, "Fatestay Night" is still in the state where the script has not even been written yet.
Chapter 312: "Fate Zero" is concluded! (V)
Chapter 312
"Fate Zero", which lasted for three parts and staged a grand epic, has finally come to an end.
All of a sudden, almost the entire empire started talking about this movie, and for a while, topics related to "Fate Zero" were almost everywhere.
This atmosphere is even more outrageous in Northrick, which can almost be called the movie capital. No matter which corner of the town you go, people are talking about related topics everywhere.
This was extremely strange in the eyes of Crusch, the leader of the Paladin Order who had just entered the city. After all, she had never seen ordinary people get so excited when talking about anything other than faith.
Or to put it more bluntly, even if they believe in God, it would be difficult for them to show such excitement unless the God personally appeared before them.
"Ahem, Captain, are we really going to go to the movies?"
In response to Dahlia's slightly shy look, Crusch said calmly:
"Of course we have to see it. Otherwise, why did we come all the way here? To drink in the tavern?"
"Well, can't we go to the pub and drink?"
"You have become completely lazy after leaving the church for a while. It seems that I need to let you experience the teachings of God again!"
"No! Look, let's just watch!"
Dahlia's fear of the leader of the Paladins finally made her give up the idea of stopping him from watching the movie.
The two soon arrived at the door of the cinema.
However, due to a delay at the city gate, when they arrived, the morning movie "Fate Zero" had already ended.
Of course, even though the movie was over, there were still a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the cinema, excitedly talking about everything they had just seen in the movie.
Crusch showed an even more incomprehensible expression towards all this. He also looked at the movie posters around him, and finally frowned and asked:
"Which movie should we watch first?"
"Uh, what kind of show would you like to see, Captain?"
"Humph, our goal is to criticize and judge those things that wantonly promote wrong theories. Naturally, we have to pick those films that have confused values and violate doctrines!"
"But this is just a pure entertainment product..."
"Entertainment products need to be strictly controlled. Look at the people here. Due to the lack of teachings from the gods, they are so lazy now. Add to that uncontrolled entertainment products like movies. I'm afraid that in a few years, the South Territory will completely degenerate into a chaotic hell. It's chilling."
"Not really..."
Faced with Captain Crusch, who had gone completely insane and would not give up until he achieved his goal, Dahlia, an ordinary paladin of the church, finally couldn't defeat him and gave up struggling.
Of course, in order to ensure that the other party would not really explode after watching the movie and run to the church headquarters with the film to declare war, she tried her best to choose a movie with relatively less impact.
There is no doubt that it is "Goblin Slayer" whose overall values tend to be normal and does not convey any extra special values.
Since today is the Spring Festival Film Festival, almost all the audience came to see the latest movies, so when Daria said she wanted to buy two tickets for "Goblin Slayer", the staff almost thought they had heard it wrong.
However, the professionally trained staff responded quickly and confirmed that there was a screening of "Goblin Slayer" today.
Due to the small number of movies available now, major cinemas will play some old movies in rotation every day. Even people who have seen the movies often cannot control themselves and come to watch every few days.
In the staff's view, even though it is the Spring Festival Film Festival, it is normal that there are still a group of fanatical fans who want to watch old movies.
Because of this, the two paladins of the church, Crusch and Dahlia, quickly entered the cinema.
When they walked in, they happened to meet people from Edward Studio coming out.
Although Dahlia knew many of them, because Captain Crusch was beside her, she deliberately took him away from the others in the studio.
Fortunately, she was fast enough. Neither Crusch nor the undead in the studio noticed each other's presence and they just left.
Therefore, Dahlia and Crusch soon enjoyed the movie called "Goblin Slayer" patiently in a luxurious environment that could almost be said to be reserved for the entire theater.
…
After leaving the cinema, King Hubbard and General Wilhelm came to the streets of Northrick again.
Since the Knights had already gone to the western border to take charge, they seemed quite relaxed this time. Ordinary people had no idea of the identities of these two old men and simply thought they were old buddies out for a trip.
After finishing his morning movie, His Majesty naturally wanted to head to the nearest TV pub as always.
After all, in addition to the two completed films, this film festival also features "Kara no Kyoukai" which is broadcast on TV every month and is about to come to an end.
Just as they were about to set off, the figures of an old man and a girl suddenly appeared at the corner ahead.
"Uh, you are..."
For a moment, seeing the familiar faces in front of them, whether it was King Hubbard and General Wilhelm, or the Orc Prophet and Juno, they were all completely stunned.
Of course, the first one to react was the orc prophet. He immediately concealed his aura and pretended to be an ordinary old man and spoke:
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
"Yeah, it seems like we are destined to be together."
King Hubbard didn't notice anything and nodded calmly.
On the surface, both parties were just ordinary movie fans, so after a brief greeting, the topic quickly and naturally turned to movies.
Regarding the "FateZero" I watched before, the communication among several people was very smooth. Except for Juno who couldn't get a word in, the three old men had very similar values, so there was no obstacle when they talked.
This pure atmosphere of discussing the movie even made the orc prophets, who knew each other's identities, forget the gap in their identities and simply indulge in the fun of discussing the movie.
Naturally, when the topic came to an end, King Hubbard slowly spoke:
"How about the last episode of Kara no Kyoukai that will be on TV later? Do you want to watch it together?"
Chapter 313: The hot New Year Film Festival!
Chapter 313
The Orc Prophet naturally had no reason to refuse King Hubbard's personal invitation. The most important thing was that he was also very interested in the upcoming TV show and hoped to communicate with two people who also loved movies.
In a sense, this even made him forget their respective identities, and they established mutual communication purely as film lovers.
At the same time, when King Hubbard, General Wilhelm and the Orc Prophet went to the nearby TV tavern together, many ordinary people in the South Territory who walked out of the cinema also immediately went to the nearest TV tavern.
After all, they knew a long time ago that in addition to the two movies "Fate Zero" and "Steins;Gate" at this New Year's Film Festival, "Kara no Kyoukai" broadcast on TV would also be coming to an end.
This is certainly an important show that you must watch.
In the east and west territories, except for the south, since TV pubs were not yet popular, people could only go back and brag about their movies after watching them, and then wait for the afternoon movie to continue.
…
Imperial School of Magic.
After finishing his communication with several great sages, Du Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to leave the Mage's Tower casually, for fear of being targeted by the bunch of anxious guys below.
So, after thinking it over, he could only quietly run to the top of the Alchemy Tower, and successfully met Scar who was there as usual.
"Hey, Scar, how's your textbook going?"
Scar's expression suddenly darkened when he saw Du Lin's low EQ behavior of exposing scars as soon as they met.
But he was open-minded and didn't care about anything. He just replied calmly:
"With your advice last time, I have basically sorted out all the content that needs to be included. I estimate that I will be able to complete the design of the entire textbook in another month."
"Oh, that's great."
Nodding, Du Lin decided to sit down and take a rest.
After all, he had been running around and had been talking about settings with a bunch of great sages for a long time. He was already dry-mouthed and exhausted.
Just when he was about to take a break, the door at the top of the Alchemy Tower suddenly opened, and several figures that surprised him slowly walked in from outside.
"Gebren, Chris, why are you here?"
The two students of the spiritual and soul discipline were also surprised by Du Lin's surprise. Of course, Gebulen's expression quickly returned to normal, and he laughed and said:
"Hehe, is there any need to explain? Of course you came here for my gem that is perfect to the extreme and shines like the darkest pearl in the night!"
"Uh, what is he saying? Is there really no grammatical error in this sentence?"
Facing Du Lin's usual headache, Chris smiled and said:
"To put it simply, Senior has made a breakthrough in his research recently, so he came here to discuss the experiment with Master Skarta."
"Research? Experiment?"
Du Lin was slightly surprised to find that this super repeater was actually doing an experiment. After all, he had never heard of this before.
On the other side, Gebulun showed a mysterious smile at this moment and said loudly:
"Hehe, as expected, even if you are the only pioneer I recognize in this world, Mr. Du Lin, you can't guess my extraordinary and great achievements, hahahahahahaha!"
"… "
Du Lin suddenly felt a little angry for no reason at Geblun's inexplicably arrogant attitude.
